Hello everyone...This past month was one of the hardest of my life. A close friend of mine died in a tragic car accident three weeks ago, and since then i've fallen hard. I've been drinking and smoking marijuana everyday since, and I can't take it anymore. I'm to the point where I need to drink and smoke to even feel normal, not even getting drunk or high.

I am considering entering a detox program, but I am very concerned because there are two substance which i'm dependent on. I've quit both in the past, but individually never together.

Does anyone here have experience with detox for these two substances? I know they can treat the alcohol withdraw effects with medication, but what about the marijuana? If I don't smoke I get severe symptoms: zero appetite (anorexia basically), severe anxiety, no sleep...

Also, I don't think that the medical attention will alleviate all discomfort, but what should I expect in the detox? Is it complete hell? How long does the 'hell' last?

Thank you all so much, I don't know where else to turn to right now.
